In the hours leading up to his arrest, a video circulated online reportedly showing Banuelos and Hadid together at a Texas bar, reigniting speculation about the status of their relationship and drawing intense social-media attention.
Adan Banuelos is a Mexican-American equestrian born on April 8, 1989, raised around horses and competitive horsemanship. He grew up immersed in Western riding — a foundation that shaped his future in elite cutting horse competition.
Banuelos is widely recognized in the equestrian community for his elite skill in cutting, a demanding discipline in which horse and rider work together to separate a single cow from a herd and keep it isolated.
His consistency at the highest level has placed him among the top competitors in the United States. In 2017, Banuelos was inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) Riders Hall of Fame at just 28 years old, making him one of the youngest riders ever to receive the honor, as noted by Fort Worth Magazine.
He has also dominated the sport as a multiple-time NCHA Leading Open Rider, finishing No. 1 nationally in 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022, according to NCHA records.
Among his major career achievements, Banuelos captured the NCHA Futurity Open Championship, including a standout victory in 2020 aboard All Spice, and has delivered top-tier performances in The American Performance Horseman Championships, where his teams have posted leading scores and high-profile wins in one of cutting’s most prestigious events.
